Professor CHEN Wenxi of our university has donated three-dimensional kanji character objects to the Japan kanji Museum & Library

Professor CHEN Wenxi of the Division of Computer and Information Systems donated a three-dimensional kanji model of "熊" (bear) to the Japan kanji Museum & Library. The model was designed and produced based on the university-owned related patent, "Method for Generating Three-Dimensional Objects and Three-Dimensional Objects" (Patent No. 4675042; inventors: Milenkov et al.).

Through this three-dimensional kanji model, we hope that visitors--especially many children--will experience the appeal of computer art, develop an interest in it, and further enhance their motivation to learn.

The model of the 2025 "Kanji of the Year," "熊" (bear)  is displayed on an automatic rotating platform at the Kanji Museum. (the calligraphic style brushed by Chief Priest Mori Seihan of Kiyomizu-dera Temple)

◯ The model can also be viewed virtually on the BIT Lab website of our university.
